First Look: Fenix LD31 RENEGADE Flashlight

You don’t think about some things until you need them. But when you do need them, nothing else will work. Like a pocketknife or a fire starter. Or a portable flashlight. When you need light, there’s no substitute. That’s why a small, everyday carry flashlight is so useful. Stow it in a pack or pocket or glove compartment, and you’ll never be caught in the dark.

The Fenix LD31 RENEGADE Flashlight is the ideal solution for this must-have, must-work piece of gear. The RENEGADE’s Goldilocks design delivers the perfect blend of light, packability, and features. It’s small (less than 5 inches long), making it easy to stash away, even in a pocket. It’s bright (max 3,200 lumens). It’s waterproof. And its rechargeable battery doubles as a power bank. It’s the definition of “everything you need, nothing you don’t.”

On high, the beam distance is 1,165 feet—more than enough to light trails and spot hazards. On low, the 100-lumen light lasts for more than 30 hours, and the RENEGADE’s eco setting (30 lumens) has an astounding runtime of more than 80 hours. When you need to top off power (it has a battery level indicator), just remove the battery and recharge via its built-in USB-C charging port. Bonus: Manual lockout prevents accidentally draining the battery.

You also get a suite of features that make the RENEGADE easy to use and super functional. A side switch makes fast work of cycling through brightness levels, intelligent memory remembers and activates the last level used, and Instant Turbo lets you go straight to max brightness, bypassing all other levels. You can stand the flashlight on its tail for hands-free use, and get the AOD-S V2.0 Diffuser Tip (not included) to turn it into a lantern.

All that, and the durable, aluminum construction is also waterproof to 2 meters.
